It does not matter if the WATER CIRC PUMP front of the engine is a marine unit because alot people who never pull that hose to drain the water out completely when winterizing can end up cracking and or breaking off the METAL PORTION of the impeller inside the water circ pump. Have seen it plenty of times from improper winterization or owners who do not winterize. Also saltwater kills these pumps down the road.
I am NOT talking about the rubber impeller for inside a water pump impelling housing - I am talking about the water circ pump on the front side of the engine. It is called an IMPELLER AS well, it is metal.

Ok I get what your saying now and actually hope your right, I winterize by taking out the thermostat and pump 6 gallons of pink stuff through the engine then i remove the cooling line on the power steering cooler and make sure its running pink. I can't pull the recirculating pump off until tomorrow so i ordered this http://www.hardin-marine.com/p-13357...th-bypass.aspx (been wanting one anyway) They said it was plug and play , anyone know if there are taps for the temp sensors in the t-stat housings on these ?

Ck your recirc pump and if it needs replacing, replace it, and go enjoy the water.,

its too late
Too late , this is the second re-circ pump that has given me issues , I think the pulleys were messed up causing the bearings to get wiped out, it looks like the pulley was rubbing the harmonic balancer pulley. As far as hot spots in the heads and the proper flow , I think running restricters instead of a thermostat may help some. I know a lot of guys running them that have never had a problem. I put a 110 amp1 wire alternator in while i was at the whole mess.
